>>>Hi,
>>>
>>>Is there a function in SQL that I can use to return the last value in the identity column of a table? Note that I don't mean SCOPE_IDENTITY() as it returns the value in the same scope. But I want to be able to do this and get the value from any table. For example, in a pseudo code it would be like this:
>>>
>>>
>>>nLastIdentVal = GetLastIdentVal("tablename")
>>>
>>>
>>>Thank you in advance for your help.

>>See IDENT_CURRENT and @@IDENTITY in Help.

>As I said I don't want the function to be tied to a scope, which both of your suggested do. Thanks anyways.

Dmitry,

IDENT_CURRENT is independent on scope, so I don't understand your comment.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
